Adding and labeling new media (command line)

The Add Volumes wizard mentioned in "Adding and labeling new media (Web interface)" on page 102

gathers information to build the necessary Tivoli command. The command can be issued on the

command line manually (for example, if the Web interface is not available).

The following command (which includes no line break) is equivalent to the procedure that was described

in the previous section:

LABEL libvol LIB.TAPE search=yes labelsource=vollist

vollist=TAPE.8,TAPE.9 overwrite=YES checkin=SCRATCH WAITTIME=60

This command causes Tivoli Storage Manager to search for media and label them according to the names

speciﬁed as vollist. It a lso checks in the new volumes. Use the following procedure to issue the command:

1. Open two ssh sessions to the PCC machine. Use one to observe the command.

2. In the ﬁrst shell, type the command: dsmadmc –con.

The Tivoli m onitoring co nsole opens.

3. In the second shell, begin the Tivoli comm a nd line interface by typing dsmadmc and issue the

libvol command as described.

Note that the volume lab els that are speciﬁed as a list are separated by commas with no spaces

between.

4. You should now see the same command and additional information in the monitoring console.

When the process is ﬁnished you should see output that looks something like this:

ANR8810I Volume TAPE.8 has been labeled in library LI B.TAPE.

ANR8810I Volume TAPE.9 has been labeled in library LI B.TAPE.

ANR8801I LABEL LIBVOLUME process 96 for librar y LIB.TAPE completed;

2 volume(s) labeled, 2 volume(s) checked-in.

If the libra ry has a barcode reader, change the command to use the barcodes as volume

labels:
